Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
We accept the love we think we deserve.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
There’s nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.’
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.
Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.
Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
